Close to the Rialto bridge. Excellent gelato nearby. The resaurant gives a discount for guests--and the fish soup (which is really a stew) is incredible!

The staff was very accomodating. They provided a gluten free menu for me with fruit, meats and cheeses. Very helpful with directions and suggestions. Great location right near Rialto Bridge. Perfect for seeing Venice. Lovely breakfast.

The room was not large, but clean, comfortably decorated, and the owner, Luca was super, even meeting us at the variety and helping with our luggage to the B&B. Breakfast was more than ample.

Staff was wonderfully accommodating and friendly, and the location was perfect. 5 minute walk to Rialto, 15 minute walk to St. Mark's square. Very close to all boat stops.

The room was nice and clean, the breakfast was yummy and plenty, and because of the pictures on booking.com it was easy for us to find the place.
The owners were really friendly and helpful. They gave us some nice hints and ideas of when to see which part of the city.

This place was great, really clean, very good location, and the staff were really helpful for us planning our days.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

We cannot recommend the Bar/Restaurant, that is located right beneath the B&B. The Bar has the same name as the B&B, but it is owned by different people. We had some bad pizza and pasta there, and the staff was unfriendly and, after we complained about our food, even rude. So, rather avoid to have some dinner there!

Only few minutes walk from the Rialto Bridge (catch the ferry from the train station to the bridge, don't walk otherwise takes about 35 mins), good sized rooms, Luca the owner is fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help at any time. Wifi is great, could skype Australia with no problems.

Really enjoyed our stay in Venice at Luca's bnb. Fantastic location in the Cannaregio district, couple of minute walk to Rialto bridge, 10 minutes to San Marco. Room was perfect for our needs in Venice. Comfortable and felt very secure. Breakfast was good. Luca was great and took a genuine interest in helping us make our time in Venice tailored to our interests.

Street noise from the restaurant setting up downstairs was difficult to bear at 5:30am (loud conversations, tables dragging) and I'm usually a very heavy sleeper.
As everyone mentions it is difficult to find. Really easy once found, follow the signs to Rialto if coming from the train station turn left after chiesa Santa Maria Grazie Cannaregio. You will seen an awning saying 'osteria' which is barababoa restaurant the bnb is next door to it. Hope this helps future guests. If coming from Rialto way turn right at the same church.

The location was great. Luca, the owner, is a warm and thoughtful person who speaks great English. The rooms were clean and had great character. They over look a small square down below where Luca also has a restaurant. The only critique is there are not good directions from the train station. It can very difficult to find.
Take the Line 1 or 2 to the Rialto bridge stop on the San Marco side. Line 2 is preferrable as it is quicker. Either will work however. Get off at one of three Rialto stops...just make sure the exit is on the left of the boat. Walk straight ahead to the first main street and turn left. Meander down the street crossing over two small bridges. Look for the Church of San Giovanni Crisostomo. Take a right it is directly behind the church. The B&B is to the right of the restsurant of the same name.

The owner, Luca and his girlfriend Antonella were both great. They were so friendly and helpful in everyway. They emailed us ahead of time to ensure we were all set for arrival, they let us keep our bags at the B&B after check-out and let us come back later to pick them up, and they were just so pleasant. Venice is so full of tourists and people just trying to make a quick dollar that it was nice to experience some true Italian hospitality. This is not the fanciest of places, but it was clean and cozy. The best part is the location. It is right next to the Rialto bridge, so you could always follow the signs to Rialto and get back to the B&B no problem. Overall, we have nothing bad to say about the place! Highly recommend it.

Nothing, we wanted something affordable and ended up with a great cozy little B&B in an amazing location.

The location is excellent, close to Rialto and centrally located for all of the main sites. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the accommodation is well-presented, clean and very quiet considering its central location.

The directions could be clearer with a full address on the listing - you really need the walking directions to find the property.
